World Rugby offers assistance for Six Nations matches in the United States

World Rugby has announced that it will assist any national team wishing to relocate a Six Nations fixture to the United States, underscoring its ongoing effort to expand the sport’s footprint across North America. The governing body said it would provide logistical and financial support to ensure the match meets international standards, while also promoting local engagement and commercial opportunities for the host city.

The move comes as the United States seeks to raise its profile in global rugby, following recent high‑profile test matches and the successful hosting of the 2023 Rugby World Cup. By offering a flexible solution for teams and venues, World Rugby aims to create a sustainable pathway for more Six Nations games to be staged in the U.S., potentially boosting fan interest, media coverage, and the development of domestic talent. The initiative is expected to strengthen ties between the sport’s traditional powerhouses and the growing American rugby market.
